Beautiful yellow joints on the legs of this Nephilia spider. Nephilia are the golden orb spiders that make even larger webs than Agriopes. Agriopes are the "writing spiders, making an "X" pattern in their web and sit with paired legs along the lines of the cross. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinrao/3868040751/
